Business incubation
gives entrepreneurs the opportunity
to launch their venture at a prestigious
address, while surrounded by successful
and experienced professionals
and businesses. As a tenant in
the Innovation Center, you will
enjoy a custom-designed environment
of technical and business services
to assure success.
Corporate
Partnering
The CCIC program
provides "neutral ground"
for corporate partnering on short
or long-term special projects.
The program is designed to nurture
new product ventures through the
start-up stage, which is the most
critical time in any business
endeavor. In addition to housing
fledgling companies in a traditional
incubator, our facilities can
be used as off-site "skunk-works"
for large projects for established
businesses.
